Head-Splitting Conundrum
14 years ago
Well, the conversation started innocently enough. I was trying to convince my mom that for my 21st birthday I want this old flintlock pistol from this pawn shop down the street from my house. It's not fancy or anything, there's some damage and such to it, but it's a great starter piece you know? Anyway, we got to talking about history in general, but suddenly I noticed the rekindling of my passion for history, especially historic weapons and battles. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but the problem has arisen in the knowledge that I've gotten started thinking about all this far too late. I've already declared my major: Fish and Wildlife Management.
I love animals, but I also love history. I've noticed as this semester has gone on and on that I'm kind of losing my fire for the field. What I've noticed is that if you were to put me in a room with two televisions, one tuned in to animal planet and the other to the History channel (both with some sort of program I found very interesting), then told me that I could only watch one of them, I would probably watch History channel. If I do decide to change my major to history I'll have wasted my time this semester on pointless classes for a major I was no longer interested in.
Another problem I've got is what if I'm just thinking like this because the classes I'm taking right now are extremely challenging and I'm losing steam? I tell you what, I hate having multiple interests, and then being told to decide what to do with the rest of my life before I'm even 21! Another thing I would love is that if I were to go in to history, I may have more time to devote to singing and developing my voice for opera. I love opera, and as it turns out, my school offers an opera workshop that I could potentially take advantage of. Now, I may be shooting to high thinking about opera, but I love the style and to sing, but I have never had a vocal lesson in my life so I don't know if I'm even that good, but I've had a lot of compliments so I can't be as bad as some of the people on American Idol X3. Anyway, any advice would be vastly appreciated.
